With an emulsion shock you have to let the shock suck some air. You are creating a vaccum in the shock when you push the shaft all the way up to displace the oil and then seal it off. Stroke the shock back and forth a few times and it should normalize. A little suck back is not bad as well as a touch of rebound. It is the shock trying to normalize itself.

Having problems building the shocks. I have always sucked at this. In regards to the emulsion caps with the bleeding screws. I followed the directions on a Youtube video, but the shocks never come out right for me. I'll compress the shaft all the way up, some oil comes out, then put the bleed screw into the cap. I pull the shaft all the way down, then it gets sucked back up on it's own. What causes this? I followed the bleed instructions exactly, but it doesn't work for me. What am I doing wrong?

I'd be happy with just a Bump version of the stock 2.0 without any bells and whistles. The original Bump held up great and I don't need a receiver box.

Tried the new dunford setup minus the shock pistons and oils(running the 2 hole still) on a dusty medium traction track. Overall im undecided if i like it. I do like the extra acceleration in a straight line. I liked the extra droop in the front as it made the front come down quicker in the air to get the front tires to land on the down side of every jump. The extra kick-up in combo with the extra droop did put more weight to the rear as the front end raise up under acceleration. Black springs and hubs all the way back did make the car more stable(all ready did this prior to the setup change). Car seemed like it had almost too much on power steering. More steering overall, just need a slight more stability so i can stand on it even more when needed without worrying about washout in a turn. Wish i had some lap time comparisons. Not sure if 5 in the center would help to get a little more stability. The car is almost there keep up dunford and casper!
